Do find yourself saying YES to things you really don’t want to do?⁣
⁣
Is it hard for you to say NO to certain people, even in a text message because you’re imagining their reaction?⁣
⁣
This was me for so long. ⁣I remember cringing when I thought about being around certain people or environments.
⁣
When we are constantly saying “YES” to others, we are likely saying “NO” to ourselves. ⁣
⁣

In today’s world, it seems there is always an emphasis on keeping up with social events, extracurriculars, and staying “busy”.⁣
⁣
Can I tell you, this will get you nowhere. ⁣
⁣
Something I want you to understand moving forward: the LESS you DO, the MORE you will ACCOMPLISH. ⁣
⁣
It may feel weird to audit certain relationships/commitments…⁣
⁣
BUT, if they are draining your energy it’s time to put them on the back burner. ⁣
⁣
Trust me, you aren’t going to miss out.⁣ You have to say “NO!”
⁣
Setting boundaries and guarding your energy is the ultimate way to reduce stress and build your self esteem.⁣
⁣
Boundaries represent how much or little you respect yourself.

Boundaries are your friend, and everyone travels through life a lot smoother when we stay within our lane. ⁣
